Thanks SS. I re-read the report: minor clarification: It looks like I’m recommending that Britain can’t be attacked at all R1, but actually meant that Italy specifically needs to wait until R2 to attack (preventing the total annihilation of all UK forces from the mediterranean on R1). Also, I thought there was little the UK could do with these house rules to prevent a takeover if Italy was allowed to attack the UK in R1, but this was assuming Italy could set up their fleet and transports to attack England on R2 with Germany, but skilled Allied players could put naval ships in the path to block Italy from joining in on R2. With that, I think it’s appropriate to play that Italy can attack the UK on R1… especially since the Italian player only earns 10 IPC’s at start and with no National Objectives, it could be a slow climb to more income if Britain has a chance to maintain it’s fleet and holdings in Africa.

@imperious-leader said in Global 1942 with General 6 Stars advanced game.:
@general-6-stars A huge abundance of LL to Soviets came as Half Tracks, Jeeps, Trucks I think the LL chart has too many artillery choices
I agree but didn’t want to add mechs to game based on it doesn’t have any or let alone another piece.
On my other game yes more mechs on that chart.
I could add them to game for Russia anyway. Maybe go with 4 options.Cannot buy in game.
- Mech C0 A1 D2 M2 tow artillery.
- Mech C0 A1 D2 M1
- Mech C0 A1 D1 M2 tow artillery or Inf.
- Mech C0 A1 D1 M1
Like option 3 best.
But then most will say why can’t rest of countries get mechs. We know Russia got 1000’s of trucks.Also looking at making Italy a country. Would need to find a good spot in turn order. At least give axis something in Europe between UK and US. Tunis is gonna be a huge victory city. Got more Africa action now.
Russia
Germany
UK
Japan
Italy
USAin’t heard from that guy yet on if he printed up map or has been testing.
-
Here is the Italy add to map. Increased Germany 2 icps and +1 to Italy giving axis 3 more icps. Need to see if they can contest Cairo and hold Tunis or hold Tunis from the sandwich.
As of right now just testing normal map with no Italy. But Germany income raised 3 more Icps.
-
What do think IL ? Just go with Italy and not the regular map ?
-
@general-6-stars Well its an option so its 3 vs 3, would require alot of playtesting to see if its balanced
-
Ya. Gonna get a map with Italy too. Gonna have to swap out BB and trany to become Italian.
-
Gonna now move 1 German sub from Baltic to sz with 2 German Subs in Atlantic to 3 on setup. Based on time frame if it’s early 42 this gives Germany some decent battle of the Atlantic action.
Also since a plane can scramble with a destroyer present on subs only attacking.Maybe those 3 subs will just hit convoys and split up and force allies to come and get.
Gives Germany maybe a sub fodder or 2 and plane attacks later. Then maybe not -
Got another game in. Allies win. Seems they can get to Finland to quick in game and will make the Norway upper north border to go all the way to Russia like it is on real world map. This will give Germany that 1 extra turn to counter.
That sea zone up there is huge because when US threatens a d day landing in Atlantic west of UK and Germany buys most for defense on coast line territory all US has to do is then go to Finland and land. Just to quick.
Also just 8 turns in game now. Axis doesn’t get 12 points at end of any turn by end of turn 8 allies win.Changes made to game.
Paris worth 4 instead of 6.
Italy worth 5 instead of 3. Gives Germany a chance to buy more in Med and for Africa to defend Tunis.
Romania worth 3 instead of 2.
German income increases from 48 to 49.All coastal territories in Asia north of FIC are worth 3 now.
Yunnan worth 2 based on Burma Road.
Japan’s income increases from 35 to 37.Tac bombers C8 now and AD@2. Still can pick target first round only. This will also help Germany get a extra turn of a sub raid in game also. Was just a bit to stronger than a fig.
Seems allies still just a bit to strong in game and axis go on the defense a turn or 2 to early. Was at 11 VC points ( 12 for win ) but then by turn 4 can’t push no more on either side. Just saying if they get to 12 at least then allies need to counter a bit faster maybe.

@general-6-stars
Did you build the dice towers yourself? -

@general-6-stars
Did you build the dice towers yourself?No I did not make them. Knew a guy that made them. Asked to make more but said wasn’t really doing any more. Maybe he is now ? Don’t know. They do fold down too.
You could try e-bay. I’ll take a peak and see.
Update. Did not see them on E-Bay.

They look great.
I’ve made my own - started building them in various shapes to find the most suitable form, so the dice don’t roll over the edge in the tray.
This one is the best shape so far.
Think I might build one like yours as well.

@general-6-stars Can we get an updated map file in PDF with the new area values?
-
Just a map pic or the map file to print ?
-
@general-6-stars well pdf. would be great from that map file, the issue is i dont have any program currently for map making
-
Ya. Be there in morning
-
Here’s the map as of now. Hopefully this is it. Any more changes will just be in setups.
-
Made a few more changes. Removed 3 inf from allies on setup in Asia.
Made FIC worth 3 instead of 2.
Cauraucus now worth 4 instead of 5. Russia income back to 24. from 25.We played another game but ended it on turn 4. Axis not being able to get that 12 city.
But of course more play is needed.I can post updated map if somebody wants to see it.
